20 CHRISTCHURCH MAIL, APRIL 7, 2016 stuff.co.nz FOCUSONNEWBRIGHTON Pressure mounts to save Burwood birthing unit ADVERTISING FEATURE An independent inquiry into the closure of the Burwood Birthing Unit could be held after Christchurch East MP Poto Williams tabled a petition in Parliament calling for a replacement facility in the east. Poto says the Canterbury District Health Board had previously told staff at the unit the extended-care facility would be reestablished after its planned closure at Burwood Hospital. However, after a large aftershock on February 14 prompted the early shuttering of the unit, Poto says it became clear no replacement plan was in place. ‘‘I would like some independent investigation of what’s going on here. ‘‘At the very least I’d like to see Ministry of Health officials examine the way the service works and have a look at the demographics and geography of what’s happening,’’ she says. The Burwood Birthing Unit specialised in whanau-centred care and attracted women from across Canterbury but especially those in Christchurch’s east. Poto Williams, the memberof Parliament for Christchurch East, tabled a petition in Parliament on March 30calling for a replacement to the Burwood Birthing Unit to be established in the east of the city. have the facilities we had before, so there’s a sense that we don’t actually deserve to have what we used to.’’ Poto, a Labour MP, sits on the Health Select Committee that will consider the petition of more than 4100 names. She says while the committee might choose to do nothing with the petition, it has the power to order an inquiry into why eastern Christchurch was deemed unworthy of a replacement unit and why so little progress has been made on housing the services elsewhere. Potos says ideally the health board would remediate the existing site and maintain it until a replacement was developed. Such a strategy would mirror Now that new subdivisions are swelling populations in eastern suburbs, Potos says there is no rationale to the unit’s closure other than to have services bundled in the central city. However, busing into town is unsuitable for women in labour and travelling to Rangiora or Lincoln, where services were reallocated following the February quake, is ‘‘beyond inconvenient’’, Poto says. ‘‘The concern now is that we’ve lost a fantastic facility in the eastern suburbs and yet again we’ve had all this spin about a replacement when there wasn’t going to be one.’’ She says a trend is emerging of easy earthquake repairs being done while difficult work, often in the east, was left lagging and short of funds. ‘‘The eastern suburbs just won’t HAVE YOU TRIED?
